Right now, according to Vedic astrology, is THE MOST POWERFUL time in 300 years to complete with your disempowering stories and be finished with them once and for all. Everything is in alignment in the planets from April 17th - May 25th to support your enlightenment, which means being completely complete with everything in your life. Let go of every negative story you've ever told yourself about yourself, others or about life, so you can create from a silent Mind knowing yourself as God.

Triggers are caused by incompletions. Incompletions are places in ourself where we are not complete about something that happened in our life and we created a negative story about what happened. We then unconsciously create that pattern over and over again to keep proving our story to ourself. Like "I'm not good enough or people are not trustworthy." These stories are not truth, they are simply patterns we have decided at some point to program ourself with.

You can also choose to reprogram yourself with more empowering patterns.

Nothing that happens in life intrinsically has meaning. It only has meaning once we use our mind to create it. When you get triggered, stop for a moment to identify the story you are telling yourself that makes you feel that way, then you have the power to change that story to a more empowering one.

Your journey in conscious living begins when you choose to become more committed to identifying the patterns you are subconsciously living over and over again instead of feeding the anger or sadness or whatever emotion was triggered in you.

Start by making a clear intention that your focus is to complete with as many disempowering stories as possible... the Universe will do the rest. THIS IS THE TIME.

Remember, as soon as you get triggered... choose to drop the story. Your story is NOT TRUTH. You made it up. Sometimes it is hard to let go of our stories because they are our only frame of reference to who we are. I promise... when you choose to complete with the stories that make you feel bad, make you a victim or trigger you in any way... your whole life will rearrange to support you in seeing everything as Divine and your life will become light and blissful.

“There is more beauty than our eyes can bear, precious things have been put into our hands and to do nothing to honor them is to do great harm.”

-Marilynne Robinson

Mother Nature is miraculous. Yes! That means made of miracles. We are the stewards of this land. All that is required for a total transformation of our planet is that YOU do YOUR part to lift her up and to honor her sacredness. When we begin to honor the sacred within ourselves we honor the sacred in All.

We are awakening, transitioning from one realm of consciousness into another. Shifting through dreamworlds. It is fascinating how we stare into our possible future as if it is separate from us. We may feel trapped and contained as though it so close yet so far. The veil is thin now... it is time to break through to the other side.

We all feel it. The transformation is surging through our tiny bodies because we are extensions of our Mother Earth. Some of us recognize it more consciously and embrace the sensations moving through us as we cleanse and strengthen our temples to hold the higher frequencies of love and compassion for all life on our planet. We are the anchors for the coming era referred to by some as the Golden Age, Shamballa or the Satya Yuga (Era of Truth).

All of this is beautiful to fantasize about, however, it is ineffective unless we utilize our ability to envision a better world to propel us into actions that cause it to become our physical experience of reality. You see, the Ascension that so many are speaking about does not happen TO us...it happens BECAUSE of us. As Sandra Walter so eloquently puts it:

“Ascension is a conscious choice to engage in Evolution.”

And although there is no doubt (for those of us who follow astrology) that the cosmic energies are lining up quite nicely to assist humanity in accessing more evolved states of being, these energies cannot be activated to their fullest potential unless we open up to fully accept them. This requires commitment and discipline. It is not a coincidence that the words disciple and discipline are basically one and the same. True discipline is getting out of one's own way enough for a higher teaching to come through.

Those who choose 'discipleship' (no religious context is implied here) are the ones who receive the elevated energy and transmit it into the unconscious collective of our species. Like neurons, we reach towards each other, forging new pathways. Each time we do, the signal is reinforced and is able to broadcast with less and less resistance, quickly becoming the more dominant reality.

We are the filters through which consciousness experiences itself. As we fine-tune our own perceptions we literally become the doorway for the new paradigm to flow into our collective existence. The more bandwidth we condition our nervous system to stream, the faster our world transforms. What does that mean? It means that every time your default conditioning tells you to feel icky or hateful or pissed off at someone, use your willpower to override the old program, choose to let it go, and place all of your focus on emanating gratitude, love and compassion. That is what mastery over your mind and nervous system looks and feels like.* The more you do it, the easier it becomes, just like everything else in our universe. Keep it up and soon you will be a a magnificent and powerful conduit for all that is good in the world. Like Gandhi said, "be the change" and be it BIG!

So what is Ascension? It is a choice. Those of us who choose it become the vessels that hold the light of a New Day. We have willingly offered ourselves as Ambassadors of this Movement. We are the future and we know it in every thought, in every breath, every word and every action. And because, if we aren't the future, then....it doesn't appear that there will be much of one for anyone.

We are awakening and we are not alone. We are the Ascension.

*I want to clarify... this is a short article and I do not have the time to go into the complexities of emotion. It is important to state that there is nothing wrong with feeling sad, depressed, angry or anxious. We do not want to ignore what arises within us. There are times when these are the healthiest emotions for us to experience. Stay aware to when you are consciously choosing to feel these emotions due to extreme loss of frustration or if you have subconsciously fallen into a rut where these emotions control you instead of the other way around.
